Tennita was a kind, loving, and selfless soul who touched the lives of many. She enjoyed music, traveling, dancing, and singing, but most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her beloved friends and family. As a devout Christian, her love for the Lord was at the core of almost everything she did.

The love and care she showered her residents with reflected her humanitarian spirit. An angel to many, she will be dearly missed.
